Strate’s e‐Voting platform welcomes two new clients

Strate’s e‐Voting platform has achieved another key milestone: the operationalisation of two new clients. Merchant West Investments and Sesfikile Capital Managers, with combined assets under management of R23.5 billion. They are now live to process voting instructions via our fully digital solution.

We are pleased to continue serving the financial market ecosystem through our innovative, groundbreaking e-Voting platform, which offers a fully digital secure platform to connect companies to their investors.

Through full integration with our core CSD platform, our e-Voting platform uses our existing digital legal ownership records to enable seamless and legally-binding voting on securities in the public and private markets.

e-Voting seamlessly connects issuers and investors, increasing transparency and efficiencies across the value chain.

Other benefits include:

• Real-time voting from any location
• Ability for voters to change their vote at any time before meeting close
• Ability for voters to direct questions to the meeting chairperson
• No manual intervention at any stage in the value chain
• Improved corporate governance through interactive, audited reports
• Data security using blockchain technology
• A true end-to-end solution
